What Are You Trying to Prove?

A student had a really interesting experience today during her voice lesson.  In the middle of singing a five note phrase and working on resonance and break issues, she suddenly became present to her own "goofy voodoo."  In one instant, she cleared up an issue with her break that had negatively effected her entire singing range and voice for most of her life.  In an INSTANT!  It was both completely amazing and utterly simple.  She "witnessed" herself trying to prove that she could sing low and was present enough physically and mentally to feel how she was pushing her low voice. 

We began her lesson using EFT to work on some of the tightness in her jaw and neck.  By using the EFT in the beginning of the lesson, we were then able to go right to the areas of the voice that were the most problematic and solve the physical issues.  EFT often causes instant shifts and healing in the voice because it is so effective in releasing body issues.  However, this was the first time that I witnessed someone have an instant and radical shift in the physical body merely from making a statement of what their goofy voodoo is. 

Normally, stating the goofy voodoo makes the student aware that the issue is there in the body and the voice and is being caused by their thinking.  The awareness allows the student to work through the issue over time, usually taking a week to a month to completely correct an issue.  Today, she literally took three seconds to clear up an issue and release it completely!  From one instant to the next the voice was totally different!  It was as though I was listening to a different singer sing the second phrase.  Never underestimate the power of goofy voodoo, both in the bad effect it has when it's hidden and the miraculous good it can do to reveal it.
